Stop Waiting for Permission

I hereby give you permission to stop waiting for someone else to give you permission.

Go ahead. Start that business you’ve always wanted. Complete that project you’ve been waiting to do. Make your next move.

Most of us, for most of our lives, have been waiting on someone else to give us permission to act. To tell us we’ve got what it takes. To affirm that we’re worthy to achieve and succeed.

It begins innocently enough when we’re children who are dependent upon our parents. But for many, it continues on long into adulthood. They wait for their boss to give them permission. Or their spouse. Or still…their parents.

I’ve observed recently that few successful people wait for permission. They take permission.

They don’t wait for someone else to say they have paid their dues and finally are someone worth listening to. Instead, they say what they need to say, do what they feel called to do, and if anyone else thinks it’s worthwhile or worth paying for…then that’s great!
